Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Haverhill, NH.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
